Thai Tea Crème Brûlée Recipe - Hot Thai Kitchen!

Crème brûlée is an easy-but-elegant dessert to make at home, and it's a great one to make in advance! It's also a perfect candidate for being "Thai-ified". The flavour of Thai tea works wonders with the creaminess of the custard, and the slight bitterness of the tea actually balances the richness and sweetness, making it very hard to stop eating! You can make the custard in advance, keep it wrapped in the fridge, and brulee the sugar whenever you're ready to serve. If you don't have a blowtorch, you can also melt the sugar under the broiler, preheat it VERY hot and put the COLD custard on the highest rack. Disclaimer: I've never done the broiler method personally, but I know it can be done. Let me know how it goes!

If you put some emptied vanilla pods in a container of sugar and leave it for a week till the pods dry you can blend it up then sieve it and use it for the creme brulee. Takes it to a whole new level

[@cheezeitz3557]

I might make this for my mom who is currently suffering from situational depression. She loves tea and loves this one restaurant that has her favorite Thai tea Creme Brulee but it is far away, so I wanted to give her something that will hopefully make her feel somewhat better

[@Vortex2087]

I just needed to read the title to know I'm defenitly going to make this. I love everything thai tea! Thanks for the recipe!

[@poyeev]

This is heaven. I love creme Brule, but with Thai tea? Its a dream come true

[@tasnimsaadna1796]

Acctually, that's my favorite desserts

[@annbrookens945]

With all the creme brulee videos I've seen, I don't recall anyone mentioning a large shallow ramekin! It makes perfect sense, since the crunchy topping is the star of this dish...but that Thai tea custard looks great!

[@XX-lg6my]

Beautiful recipe. I'll probably never make it but I really enjoyed watching it.

[@aldareia]

*drops egg yolk* "Bloop" 😂😂 you're adorable!

[@maleemoua9548]

I made this Creme Brûlée’ and it’s delicious. Not too sweet just perfect. The best part is the burnt sugar. Thanks for the recipe.

[@christinakuzmyn3270]

[@JS-gl8pg]

You are fantastic! And I totally love watching your videos!!

[@suchartboontid2560]

Honestly you can tell Pai is not a native English speaker in the way she speaks it so perfectly, like zero mistakes. Native speakers make grammatical errors all the time and most of the time they don't care but I've rarely heard Pai make one and if she did she always corrects herself. In summary, her English is too good.

[@msstephaniexiong]

omg, ur a genius! what a great combination!

[@TukataThaiKitchen]

น่าทานสุด ๆ เลยค่ะ ขอบคุณสำหรับสูตรนะคะ

[@alexandrasousa1045]

HOLY COW THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!

[@ratnanadkarni3826]

Would love to see a vegan lemongrass crème brûlée!

[@cheyennereddix9361]

Omg this looks Soooo gooooood!!

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

I made "Chai-scream" (Chai Ice Cream) a while ago, but I based on a more trad "Creme Anglais" method. (I steeped the tea in the warm milk and strained before adding to the egg and sugar, and then mixed in ribbons of syrup made from Thai-tea reduction and sweetened condensed milk after it was frozen/set) It was very successful and my customers were very impressed, but I had to use A LOT of tea to make it work (good quality Thai tea is expensive), so i haven't made it since. ☹️💵

[@oopsiespeedy]

+pailin's kitchen - Hi Pai I'm still savouring the Thai tea ice cream recipe you created last time and now you come up with this brulee recipe.... Wonderfully Fantastic...!

[@leiawapuhi01]

You can leave the bubbles, "it's not the end of the world". LOL!!! I would be the one to say"what do I do".

[@krn14242]

Yum, looks delicious.

[@krn14242]

I'm glad you and Colin met so I now can watch your stuff.

[@bribart402]

u can go to home improvement store and get good torch. go into plumbing isle and get MAPP gas instead of propane/butane. u can get torch with adjustable flame and click on/off starter. that will brulee in seconds. :P

[@nh5551]

Looks delicious ❗️👍

[@deborahdiaz3723]

[@toastbrot714]

Also delicious with Lemongrass infusion!

[@maybethistimenow]

What make Thai tea leaves do you use? These are just the flavored leaves, right, and not the mix with other ingredients?

[@PailinsKitchen]

Hi again Bern, and Adam here - and I don't know myself so you'll have to give her a shout on that one :) ... hot-thai-kitchen.com/contact . Cheers!

[@isabellelauriault-casilli8147]

where do find Thai tea ? can i use green tea ??

[@MrRudygoodliff]

I wonder whether they are in thailand Crème Brûlée also maintained...

[@reshmakumar80]

What can use instead of evaporated milk

[@DependantRope]

Hi Pai! Wondering if you've heard anything about this either in cooking school or your experience - Apparently sugar from sugarbeets and sugar from sugarcane taste identical but sugar from beets will not caramelize and will just burn. Any idea if this holds any water? Was wondering which brand of sugar it is, and whether or not it specifies beet or cane. Thanks in advance!

[@PailinsKitchen]

+DependantRope As far as I know, most sugar in N. America are beet sugar unless it's specified on the bag as "cane sugar". I'm pretty sure one I used is beet sugar and seemed to work just fine!

[@kpc9650]

forgot to ask, how do you get your Thai strainer so white after frequent use and making many brews of Thai tea?

[@PailinsKitchen]

+kpc9650 I don't, this one was new :)

[@axay5766]

I soak mine in bleach overnight after each use and it returns back to white all the time.

[@Jochita61]

Thanks you so much .

[@johnpaullowseck7419]

Delicious...

[@kpc9650]

Hi Pai, would you recommend any brand of Thai tea over another? I'm confused about which brand is really good, though not very many brands to buy here in Seattle. Yeah, we're neighbors! Hoping to buy your book soon - maybe Costco US will carry it too!

[@PailinsKitchen]

+kpc9650 I find they're kind of the same to be honest, but I use Number 1 brand

[@aewe7120]

BEAUTIFUL DRESS !! and BEAUTIFUL YOU !!!

[@romaniwijesiri7977]

[@rupalpatel9184]

[@julialupercio1124]

[@sarachen1457]

What exactly is a condensed milk

[@ThatsSoRavin]

+Sara Chen It's milk that has been boiled to remove 2/3 of its water content and is most often significantly sweetened. You buy it in cans or squeeze tubes.

[@sarachen1457]

+ThatsSoRavin oh ok thank you!

[@rosieyang15]

Hai Pai! (See what I did there?

[@rosieyang15]
